This Premier Cru Vosgos (Climat) of Chablis is an elegant explosion of aromas of white flowers with peach and pear. Aged 16 months on the lees with 10% in oak barrel. Limited production, small estate parcels on clay-limestone with Kimmeridgian soil. Decant this premium white Burgundy Chardonnay before enjoying.
What makes Burgundy special are its tiny terroirs. Vosgros is the first left-bank climat Premier Cru in Chablis. Vosgros is sometimes described as a ‘left-bank’ premier cru with ‘right-bank’ exposure. It’s situated south of the town with very shallow, harsh, chalky and stony Kimmeridgean soils that are supported by the limestone bedrock close beneath. Here the vines struggle and thereby produce very high quality fruit, with elegant and precise flavours.
Accolades:
Thomas Labille, Winemaker Chablis Premier Cru Vosgros 2020 Notes: “Generous on the nose and on the palate, this Climat de Chablis classified as 1er Cru is a real explosion of aromas of white flowers and notes of white-fleshed fruit (pear, peach). Just under 1 ha a mix of 2 parcels, one steep and south-facing, plus another small parcel in Vaugiraud. Vine ages between 5-30. Like a Roman amphitheatre. Like the others all stainless-steel elevage, but here also with about 10% barrel for 16 months. A saline extra on the palate – wide with fine clarity, easy over the palate – excellent wine.”
